BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett DESTROYS Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files in Explosive Hearing
In a blistering display of moral contrast during a February 2026 House Judiciary Committee hearing, Representative Jasmine Crockett weaponized the Department of Justice’s own records to expose what she characterized as an administration-wide cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein network.
Rather than engaging in the typical back-and-forth, Crockett began by refusing to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi any questions at all, stating that Bondi had already demonstrated she had “no intentions of answering.”
The Epstein Files: Data vs. Silence
Crockett placed specific, damning evidence into the congressional record, citing FBI investigator notes and internal DOJ documents that have been part of the recent, massive release of over three million Epstein-related pages:
Massive Volume of References: Crockett noted that Donald Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files over 38,000 times across at least 5,000 separate files.
Direct Allegations of Procurement: She referenced an FBI document describing a 1994 incident where Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly “presented a young girl” to Trump.
The Mar-a-Lago Connection: Most explosively, she detailed FBI notes of a victim being transported to Mar-a-Lago by Epstein, where Epstein reportedly bragged to Trump about the victim, saying, “This is a good one, right?”
Throughout this detailed recitation of evidence, Attorney General Bondi sat silent, offering no rebuttal to the specific claims regarding the President’s proximity to Epstein’s trafficking ring.
Weaponization and Selective Prosecution
Crockett didn’t just focus on the past; she attacked Bondi’s current management of the DOJ, painting a picture of a department that has abandoned its core mission in favor of political protection:
Targeting Journalists: Crockett accused the DOJ of spending more resources arresting journalists—specifically citing Don Lemon and Georgia Fort—than prosecuting sexual predators.
Failed Litigation: She mocked Bondi’s legal track record, listing a string of high-profile defeats, including cases against Tish James, James Comey, and Senators Kelly and Slotkin, suggesting the AG is simply “not good at her job.”
Constitutional Violations: Crockett highlighted a pending $230 million “payday” the administration is allegedly preparing for Trump, which she argued flatly violates the Emoluments Clause.
The “Courage” Contrast
In the hearing’s most poignant moment, Crockett turned to the Epstein survivors seated directly behind Bondi. She thanked them for having “more courage and moral clarity in your pinky fingers than the entire Department of Justice.”
When Bondi was finally given a chance to respond by a Republican colleague, she did not address the Epstein allegations or the 38,000 references to Trump. Instead, she pivoted to immigration, discussing a convicted criminal from Cuba and attacking Representative Ross for a past stance on sex offender registries. This deflection only served to underscore Crockett’s closing indictment: that Bondi will be remembered as an AG who chose “fealty to the President over loyalty to the Constitution.”
